What is with these guys moving up a division and getting title shots????? If henderson wants to move to 170 thats great but have him take couple of fights first before a title fight. Have him fight condit or hendricks or diaz etc to prove he deserves a title shot. It would also let him get a feel of how he would get on at that weight. Everytime I hear about champions from other divisions stepping up and going straight into title shots makes me feel guys like hendricks etc must be raging at getting passed over for a guy who has never proved himself at the weight.

Its Dana wanting to try control who his champions are. I think Hendricks is very dangerous and a handful for almost anyone and I think Dana knows this.

To be fair though the UFC is a business & Benson stepping up in weight as a champion (if he gets past Gilbert) to challenge GSP in a Champion vs. Champion fight would be a far bigger fight than GSP vs. any other Welter right now.
Just like how Aldo has been promised a LW title shot if he gets by Pettis, although bendo looking to move up might screw those plans up.
Yeah it sucks for Welters who are fighting for their title shot but no different to Chuck being pushed aside so Zuffa could make Tito vs. Ken Shamrock & countless fights since then.
